Google launches video AdWords

Google has launched Google AdWords for Video powered through YouTube.

Previously in beta, it follows a similar framework to the text-based AdWords model.

AdWords for Video allows brands to capitalise on the increased popularity of videos and its TrueView pricing model only begins to charge if a user watches at over 30 seconds of the video.

Boasting simplicity of use, all marketers require in advance is a YouTube account. Once that is linked with an AdWord account marketers can choose which of their videos they want to turn into an advert.
